技术领域Technical field

背景技术Background technique
从PC+(Personal Computer,个人电脑)互联网时代发展至移动+社交媒体时代,到将来的AI+(Artificial Intelligence,人工智能)大数据时代,不断增长和多样化的系统需求推动着许多技术的发展。在摩尔定律步伐放缓的大背景下,应用于光子计算的光子芯片被提出用于替代传统的电子芯片。光子芯片具有低损耗、高带宽等优势。受限于设备以及制作工艺,直接对芯片上的光学端口以及电学端口进行封装已逐渐难以实现,必须使用外部激光源并与PIC(Photonic Integrated Circuit,光子集成电路)进行间接耦合或者直接耦合。耦合方式有光栅耦合、边缘耦合、倏逝耦合等。而光栅耦合器因为其在片上设计位置的自由性以及成熟的技术,被广泛应用。然而,简单结构的光栅耦合器的耦合损耗较高,为了降低耦合损耗,有的人设计了新颖的复杂的光栅结构,有的人设计了底层反射金属,这些方法均可降低耦合损耗。From the PC+ (Personal Computer, personal computer) Internet era to the mobile+social media era, to the future AI+ (Artificial Intelligence, artificial intelligence) big data era, growing and diversified system requirements are driving the development of many technologies. In the context of the slowdown of Moore's Law, photonic chips used in photon computing are proposed to replace traditional electronic chips. Photonic chips have the advantages of low loss and high bandwidth. Limited by equipment and manufacturing processes, it has become increasingly difficult to directly package the optical ports and electrical ports on the chip. An external laser source must be used and coupled indirectly or directly with a PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuit). Coupling methods include grating coupling, edge coupling, evanescent coupling, etc. Grating couplers are widely used because of their freedom in on-chip design positions and mature technology. However, the coupling loss of a simple-structured grating coupler is high. In order to reduce the coupling loss, some people have designed novel and complex grating structures, and some have designed underlying reflective metal. These methods can reduce the coupling loss.

结合参照图1和图2,通过光纤20入射的光经过第一个二维光栅141后发生衍射,其中,入射光中的TE模式的光和TM模式的光分别被耦合进入位于二维光栅141相对两侧的第一波导142和第二波导143。由于第一反射层12和第二反射层16的存在,第一反射层12和第二反射层16对一定波长范围内的光具有极高的反射率,因此,从第一个二维光栅141处逸散的光会不断地在第一反射层12和第二反射层16之间反射,经过多次反射后会进入到第二个二维光栅141,然后,经过第二个二维光栅141后再发生衍射,再分别被耦合到二维光栅141相对两侧的第一波导142和第二波导143,然后,入射到第二个二维光栅141的部分光透过第二个二维光栅141后,在第一反射层12和第二反射层16的反射作用下又会被导入到第三个二维光栅141,如此在多个二维光栅141依次发生衍射并导出,直到经过最后一个二维光栅141。每次经过二维光栅141产生的衍射光都会从第一波导142和第二波导143中导出,最后,分别用第一合束器144和第二合束器145将多个二维光栅141耦合到第一波导142和第二波导143中的光合束到一起。从而,可以实现非常高的耦合效率,并且对入射光具有偏振不敏感的特性。1 and 2 , the light incident through the optical fiber 20 is diffracted after passing through the first two-dimensional grating 141 , in which the TE mode light and the TM mode light in the incident light are respectively coupled into the two-dimensional grating 141 The first waveguide 142 and the second waveguide 143 are on opposite sides. Due to the existence of the first reflective layer 12 and the second reflective layer 16, the first reflective layer 12 and the second reflective layer 16 have extremely high reflectivity for light within a certain wavelength range. Therefore, from the first two-dimensional grating 141 The light that escapes will continue to reflect between the first reflective layer 12 and the second reflective layer 16.

In this way, it will be diffracted and exported in multiple two-dimensional gratings 141 until it passes through the last one. Two-dimensional grating141. The diffracted light generated by passing through the two-dimensional grating 141 each time will be derived from the first waveguide 142 and the second waveguide 143. Finally, the plurality of two-dimensional gratings 141 are coupled by the first beam combiner 144 and the second beam combiner 145 respectively.
